My Dog is Driving Me Nuts!

I'm trying to work. Very complicated work at that. Syntaxy, layouty, problemy work and May just won't leave me alone. She is sitting by my chair and everytime I try to use the mouse and my elbow sticks a little off the desk, she starts licking me!! So I stop, pet her, tell her she's a good puppy and go back to work. More licking. I got up and gave her a treat and she went away for a while, but now she's back. I don't want to tie her up or scold her. She's not really doing anything wrong (from a dog's point of view).

Hmm … as I've been writing this, she's stopped licking me. I guess I ignored her into submission. She's now laying quietly by my feet.
